Connecting Envy 5546 Printer to wireless! erghhh

[ChopperTheBrave]

So I have been trying to connect my printer for the past 3 hours to my Mac and still no connection. I have reset the printer to its factory settings, scanned to connect with the HP 'Easy Start' and still nothing.

I have reset my laptop, the router EVERYTHING! but nothing is resolved.

During the HP 'Easy Start' scan, its connects but then fails right at the last moment every time.

Please help before I tear all my hair out!
